| Network Transport vs. CD Transport I eventually gave up on the Mini as a server, and this must have been at least 6 years ago, for two reasons:1) At the time, the usb inputs on my DAC were noticeably weaker than all of the other, leading me to experiment with reclockers, etc. that ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport I still like to spin CDs and I listen to my streamer, so I am not dogmatic about either. I have used a Mac Mini in the past and it is possible to get excellent sound. It may help to use a program like Audirvana Plus or J River. These programs, ... | |
| My list of seller red flags As usual, I thank uber for introducing a note of reality into a thread.Some of the complaints here are valid, others are petty. The one that got me was the poster who complains if they don’t get an immediate response to a phone call or email. D... | |
| Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible! Uber what ever happened? | |
| MQA DAC with Coax Output I was going to recommend Mytek as well. Not a fan of MQA but they make great DACs | |
| Can a Mytek Stereo192 DAC be connected via USB2 without a driver I had the original Mytek Manhattan which did have a FW input. My previous DAC was a modified pro DAC that also had a FW input in place of USB. I was in love with the latter DAC but wanted to upgrade. With the Manhattan I came to believe that t... | |

| Bryston BDA-3.14? I have the DAC 3 and the BDP3. The new one pushes them under 1 chassis and saves you a lot of dough. Mine sounds great. The weak link for the streamer is Manic Moose | |
| Poor internet, streaming not possible I lili like the idea of a go of Blu Ray. Currently listening to an SACD on my Pioneer Elite UDP LX 500. Has a pretty good internal DAC. Buy this and let it marinate for a year or so before you start thinking about external DACS | |
| New digital source recommendation They both play SACD, CD and Blu Ray. It looks like the the higher priced model will stream from a network so if you add Google Chrome then you can also get streaming services. Not one box but pretty close. Or get the cheaper unit and Bluesound ... | |
| Question on how DAC’s work... I believe the Denon DVD 2900 (I still have one in a closet) takes the DSD from SACD and outputs after converting back to PCM. My player had no digital outs so you are relying on whatever internal DAC is in the player. Sony Universal players are ... | |
| New digital source recommendation I would look at the Sony BDP lineup to see what they offer currently in your price range. You could do streaming on the cheap with something like Google Chrome, and then if it becomes a more important source for you, upgrade accordingly | |
| Anyone still using this player? Sony DVP-S9000ES I still have one in my 2 channel system, used as a transport for SACD into a Bryston DAC3. It has a weird quirk in that it always starts playing discs about two seconds into the disc, which others have noted is a function of the HDMI interface. ... | |
| Sony HAP-ZIES HDD player is it only 16bit 320kbps native playback ? Oops, I just noticed you said it happens with the Chord as well. |
